A hulking giant with vicegrip hands and a basketball background has been added to the Houston Texans. Late Tuesday afternoon, Nick Caserio completed a trade with the Miami Dolphins, adding Adam Shaheen to bolster the Texans tight end depth.
Make no mistake, Pharaoh Brown and Brevin Jordan should hold down the starting jobs as both have achieved strong camps so far. However, after injuries struck tight end Antony Auclair and rookie sixth-round pick Teagan Quitoriano, Houston’s depth at an important offensive position looked bleak.
To solve the problem, Caserio sent a 2023 sixth-round pick for a 2023 seventh-round pick and Shaheen. The former all-conference basketball player and Chicago Bears’ second-round pick in 2017 is now on his third team in six years.
The million dollar question becomes, what has Shaheen shown in his previous stints with the Bears and Miami Dolphins and how can he contribute to the Texans? The answer lies in Shaheen’s film.
